Through a comparative analysis of two experienced educators, Teacher G and Teacher A, the study explores the nuanced ways in which their knowledge, training, and years of experience influence their classroom management styles. Teacher G, with a master's degree in language teaching and over a decade of experience, employs dynamic and organic engagement strategies. In contrast, Teacher A, a graduate of a Teaching English program with five years of experience, focuses on structured approaches and preventive measures. The findings highlight the importance of aligning teacher background with classroom management strategies and offer implications for teacher training programs, school administrators, and individual educators.
